On the contrary, I think the difficulty of becoming an All Black adds to its mystique. Every kiwi kid dreams of pulling on the jersey, it’s like the ultimate achievement.

Too right. Gonna be one hell of a game.

With the game being at Suncorp, I maintain that it was an upset. The Sharks are dark horses, but I can’t see them winning it.

These two gurus are absolutely right. Off his feat, hands in the ruck, no try.

Does that really matter? Who cares if the bloke was waterboy?

On ya Irene. She’s been such a good player for such a long time.

Didn’t Ricky just say that he wasn’t going to coach Origin and NRL at the same time? Like a week ago?
Stuart to handle Eels, still wants Blues
Might make an effort to catch the judo. One of those obscure sports that can be really entertaining.

There’s nothing in that tweet from Cooper. Moving along…
Good quotes in this article though.

You’re right. Getting beaten by a pom. That’s just not cricket.
Where to now for Cadel Evans?
It was a bad choke, but not as bad as Norman or Van de Velde. Remember 99? Up by three with one hole left? Wow.
Gotta say, Adam handled himself with a lot of class afterward. Credit to him for that.

Never been a fan of the opening ceremony. Always just a bunch of arty crap that I can’t follow. Like the opening ceremony at the RWC last year, with all the cranes randomly driving around the port.

Nice to see someone pick up on the Gill thing! Everyone has been outraged because the ball was grounded over the line. But Gill was off his feat in the middle of a massive ruck when he picked the ball up. Clearly illegal!

Would be interested to see similar stats for tries conceded.

Hayne has the skill to play 5/8 on paper, but never seems to deliver when he’s moved there. Better to keep him at fullback, where we know he can be devastating.
Will Ricky Stuart sack Hayne as Eels fullback?
Freddy Fittler still acts like one of the boys. He needs to get a heck of a lot more serious if he wants to coach again, especially at Origin level. He’s better off staying in the media.
Fittler to coach NSW: are you having a laugh?
“We have athletes not rugby brains on the field.” Spot on in my view.

Is Timmy Bennetts in Japan now? Fancy that. Went to high school with the bloke.

Really interesting article. I had no idea about all of this history!

Seems to happen every few years. The Aussies win at home, get all cocky and then get their asses kicked a week later across the ditch.

I’ve been struck in the past by how easy it is to lose top spot in the rankings. Can take just a couple of losses. Yet as you say, the Aussies lose all over the place and can hardly be dislodged from second.

It’s true that some of the unheralded Crusaders stood up on Saturday. But the old stagers were outstanding as well. Carter and McCaw both had storming games.
